Wade’s wines

Cooking over the coals (or gas or wood) imparts layers of smokiness and char, both of which delight the senses. These three wines won’t break the bank.

SEAFOOD

Bon Courage Unwooded Chardonnay 2018

Ranging from fresh lemon to ripe mandarin on the nose, with hints of vanilla and butterscotch, this wine shows intensity on the palate with a long finish. R58

MARINATED OR SPICED

Wade Bales Winemaker Series: Nico van der Merwe Shiraz 2015
